System 720 (130-1267) Accessories Faxback Doc. # 7633 Wireless remote control Antenna holder Screw (wood, 3 x 10) Quantity: 2 FM dipole antenna AM loop antenna ANTENNAS AM LOOP ANTENNA The supplied AM loop antenna is attached to the rear panel of the unit. When listening to an AM broadcast, position the AM loop antenna for the best reception. If satisfactory AM reception cannot be obtained, use the supplied screws to attach the supplied antenna holder to a wall or other location where satisfactory reception can be obtained. Remove the AM loop antenna from the rear panel and attach it to the holder. IMPORTANT NOTE: Keep all speaker, audio and power cables away from the AM loop antenna. Caution: The antenna connection diagrams that follow are for illustration purposes only. Refer to "SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" for the proper antenna installation procedures. FM ANTENNAS For the best FM sound quality, it is necessary to install an appropriate type of antenna. Consideration should be given to the signal strength of the broadcasting station and the surrounding conditions. Multipath Distortion - A mountain or high-rise building will reflect FM radio waves. If this happens near an FM antenna, the reflected radio waves may interfere with the radio waves reaching the antenna directly, causing noise and sound interference. This is called multipath distortion. This problem can be reduced or eliminated by accurately positioning the FM antenna. Indoor FM Antenna - For nearby FM stations: Use the FM dipole antenna supplied with the unit to receive local stations. NOTE: Every antenna has a directional characteristic (its ability to pick up signals varies according to its orientation). Spread the T-section of the FM dipole antenna. Rotate it in order to determine the best signal-receiving position and then install it in that position. Outdoor FM Antenna - If the supplied FM dipole antenna fails to eliminate noise interference, or if you want to pick up signals from distant stations, install a multi-element outdoor antenna. The more elements an FM Antenna has, the more sensitive and directional it is. NOTE: Generally, the sensitivity of an outdoor FM antenna is proportional to the number of its elements. This should be considered when selecting an FM antenna. Keep the following in mind when installing an outdoor FM antenna: 1. Install the antenna away from road traffic and place the antenna as high above the ground as possible. 2. Determine the best antenna position in relation to nearby buildings and trees. 3. Keep the antenna away from high-voltage power lines. IMPORTANT...This integrated Stereo Component System was developed by Radio Shack to give you many years of enjoyment.
